Synaptic Correlates of Working Memory Capacity [PDF]
Neuron, 2017 Psychological studies indicate that human ability to keep information in readily accessible working memory is limited to four items for most people. This extremely low capacity severely limits execution of many cognitive tasks, but its neuronal underpinnings remain unclear.

Selection History Modulates Working Memory Capacity
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Recent studies have shown that past selection history affects the allocation of attention on target selection. However, it is unclear whether context-driven selection history can modulate the efficacy of attention allocation on working memory (WM ...

Frontoparietal tDCS Benefits Visual Working Memory in Older Adults With Low Working Memory Capacity
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018 Working memory (WM) permits maintenance of information over brief delays and is an essential executive function. Unfortunately, WM is subject to age-related decline.

What limits working memory capacity? [PDF]
Psychological Bulletin, 2016 We review the evidence for the 3 principal theoretical contenders that vie to explain why and how working memory (WM) capacity is limited. We examine the possibility that capacity limitations arise from temporal decay; we examine whether they might reflect a limitation in cognitive resources; and we ask whether capacity might be limited because of ...

Working memory capacity and controlled serial memory search
Cognition, 2016 The speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT) procedure was used to investigate the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and the dynamics of temporal order memory retrieval. High- and low-span participants (HSs, LSs) studied sequentially presented five-item lists, followed by two probes from the study list.

Does Blindness Boost Working Memory? A Natural Experiment and Cross-Cultural Study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Intelligence requires sufficient working-memory capacity. Traditionally, working memory was seen as a process and as a prerequisite for fluid intelligence. Working memory was assumed to be determined by maturation and health.
